Overview
'Ubaydallah b. Ahmad b. 'Ali b. Mihran, Abu Ahmad al-Faradi, muqri' and muhaddith; he heard the qadi al-Mahamili and Yusuf b. Ya'qub and attended Abu Bakr Ibn al-Anbari's circle — an imam, trustworthy, godfearing, abstemious, who knew no knowledge save purely for God. 1
His habit and dignity
He began every day teaching the Qur'an, then transmitted hadith himself until his strength was spent; he had a gravity and awe — he neither stirred nor fiddled with anything in his circle — and Abu Hamid al-Isfarayini, whenever al-Faradi came to him, would rise from his circle and walk barefoot to the mosque door to receive and honour him. He died at Baghdad in 406. 1
